Abstract:
The problem of implementing reliable broadcast in ARPA-like computer networks is studied. The environment is characterized by the absence of any multicast facility on the communications subnetwork level. Thus, broadcast has to be implemented directly on hosts. A reliable broadcast protocol is presented and evaluated on several important performance criteria.
